I for one am happy I was wrong. Merkel is the big fish and getting her out of German politics is much more important than anything that happened in France. Now there will be no "look what is happening in France now" propoganda from her camp come election time, and anything bad that happens under Macron's watch will now be used against Merkel, especially when more immigrant problems happen.

Overall it's a good thing. Even though the hot-shot banker won, France is so sick of the status quo that they threw both of their leading parties under the bus. Le Pen is still young and she's not going anywhere.

That's certainly one possible outcome. But it doesn't look to be a certainty. Here's the potential problem I see with it.

Economically, Germany is net positive in the EU.


(from http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/Intra-EU_t
rade_in_goods_-_recent_trends
)

The German economy is doing just fine. And the country hasn't been hit with the largest number of immigrants due to open EU borders.

I think that means that - despite Merkel's obeisance to the US, which might rankle German pride a little - overall the Germans don't seem to be that unhappy with their situation. And I think that - as master of the World Bank and IMF - the US has bought German loyalty with all things NATO and EU. That's why, after being wire-tapped by the NSA, the German government merely pouted - very briefly - as a token of displeasure.

Basically, the US has made sure Germany will benefit economically as member of the EU through the actions of the World Bank and IMF, in return for political obedience. And Germans seem mostly OK with it.

Doubtful. What I see is an "anti-establishment" vote. France is wracked with all kinds of divisions, just like the USA, and the traditional "establishment" parties don't seem to have cured France's ills.

I suppose it depends who you talk to on what people think "the cause" of France's problems are. Some, like le Pen, lay the blame on globalists and their resulting migration crises and globe-spanning system of competition, and would like to w/draw from the EU. Others see the problem as "sanctions against Russia" and would like to end those.

I can't say that I'm all that familiar with the candidates besides Marine le Pen (whom I've listened to two or three times) but I'm sure we'll hear a lot more about the runoff candidates later.

Yes, commentary being posted as news. THUGR, will you EVER learn?

In any case, this is about France. KIKI brought up an interesting parallel with Greece. But I would then point to South and Central America, and (eventually Africa) as parallels.

First of all, in answer to KIKI's question about why there aren't demonstrations and riots in Greece against unending "austerity"* - There are, you just don't read about them in the MSM. You have to keep an eye out, or read Greek websites, to know what's going on .... the pro EU press sure isn't going to tell you!

This is just a casual search result from MSM reporting. If I were to scour Greek sites, or (better yet) be able to perform a Lexis-Nexus search, I'd probably find a lot more.


The problem with Greece is that there is no unifying party and -especially- no mercenaries or violent subgroups to orchestrate a "color revolution" as in Ukraine.

As far as life under Macron, THE SAME THING WILL HAPPEN IN FRANCE, AND IT WILL BE EQUALLY UNDER-REPORTED.

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-05-08/watch-live-french-activists-u

* "Austerity" is just a way of bleeding the Greek people to pay German, Dutch, and Finnish banks for the loans that a corrupt Greek government took out. This is no different than imposing "austerity" on Brazilians for the loans that the military government took out, or any of the other austerity measures imposed by the IMF on many places in the world. It is the typical upward-directed money-conveyor that the wealthy get to set up for their own increased wealth and power.

Yes, the video is about Putin. Putin and how he interferes with elections. Including the French election. It's also about how stupid a thing that is turning out to be. He's only hurting himself and Russia.

You created this thread. It is about the French election. Putin paid for the losing candidates campaign, gave her millions in loans and hacked the winners campaign. The video is pertinent. Wow SIG, your deflecting away from your own threads topic.

I had it wrong. Russian sympathizer is not your primary distinction. Loser, yep loser is your primary distinction. Again you post a lie. We don't agree. And then there's this.


MOSCOW — Russian interference in the American elections last year was downright subtle compared to what we’ve seen this week in the run-up to French presidential elections. Russia’s Putin Picks Le Pen to Rule France.

The French news magazine L’Express was quick to note the anomaly as well, calling it “altogether exceptional” that Putin would receive a presidential candidate so close to an election.

In 2014, when Le Pen’s National Front Party could not secure any loans from French banks, she turned to Russia and received millions of dollars from a now defunct institution there. Putin, at the same time, received endorsement from her party for his takeover of Crimea. She has consistently blamed Washington for starting the new “cold war.” So it was widely assumed that Le Pen was in Moscow Friday as a loyal ally looking for more funding.

Yes, the difference is that we (KIKI and I) believe that French citizens should be able to decide what their nation's goals are by themselves, while YOU have the unmitigated gall to judge them from afar on who YOU think is "loyal" (to the causes that YOU espouse) and who YOU think isn't.

So, if they're not sufficiently "loyal" (to you and your goals) in sufficient numbers, what are you going to do? Bomb them? Or will you be content to just call them all traitors to your cause?




I can bomb them??? Holy... how do I do that?

Because I'm sure the answer will be amusing: What "goals" have you made up for me this time? Dismembering babies? Eating gold? Poring oil into the Atlantic? Toilet paper under Trump's shoe?
What will your fevered brain make up this time...

Yes, the difference is that we (KIKI and I) believe that French citizens should be able to decide what their nation's goals are by themselves, while YOU have the unmitigated gall to judge them from afar on who YOU think is "loyal" (to the causes that YOU espouse) and who YOU think isn't.

So, if they're not sufficiently "loyal" (to you and your goals) in sufficient numbers, what are you going to do? Bomb them? Or will you be content to just call them all traitors to your cause?




I can bomb them??? Holy... how do I do that?

There was actually an interesting discussion going on, which was

Quote:

"Austerity" is just a way of bleeding the Greek people to pay German, Dutch, and Finnish banks for the loans that a corrupt Greek government took out. This is no different than imposing "austerity" on Brazilians for the loans that the military government took out, or any of the other austerity measures imposed by the IMF on many places in the world. It is the typical upward-directed money-conveyor that the wealthy get to set up for their own increased wealth and power. - SIGNY

Honest question: how should those loans be repaid? Without a doubt, this is one of the worst things that can happen to a people, a nightmare scenario, having their government be so corrupt or inept that they rack up huge debt they cannot pay themselves. But if they cannot pay, then whom? Where does that responsibility lie? Were there other viable options? I don't think there's a bankruptcy option for countries. - G

Look at the Icelandic response to financial collapse.- SIGNY

There's the default option. - KIKI
Here's the Iceland solution - which involves making those PRIVATE banks pay the price of failure in capitalism, instead of endless government bailouts.

So the first question is not whether there are mechanisms for a nation to repudiate sovereign debt .... there are several .... but whether or not nations SHOULD be able to default, from either moral or practical considerations.

Part of the answer lies with the nature of a loan. One of the reasons why lenders charge the interest that they do is to mitigate RISK. What is that risk??? Well, it's the risk of not being paid back. As far as I can tell, there is NO SUCH THING AS A RISK-FREE LOAN. I know the ECB, IMF, and EC (Troika) have written the rules to make their loans risk-free but that's as much of a distortion as making loans obligation-free. If the initial terms of the loans weren't sufficient for the lenders at the time (not enough collateral for example) revising the rules after-the-fact is cheating. If the lenders didn't perform their due diligence to ensure that the borrower was financially sound-enough to pay back the loan, that's still their problem.

What the Troika is insisting on is that the Greek government TAKE OUT MORE LOANS TO PAY BACK THE OLD ONES. What does that remind you of? Loan sharking???

Fin Min Varoufakis was actually willing to default, EVEN WITH the attendant difficulties of having to quit the Euro currency and go back to the drachma (which I think is a sufficiently high barrier to prevent casual default). But PM Tsipras pretty much stabbed his supporters in the back by conceding to new Troika loans on even worse terms.

==========

Just in case you think this is a tragic but irrelevant case of corrupt governments sticking their population with unpayable debt .... just imagine where the USA is with its trade, public, and private debt. We have peddled out asses... er, assets ... and owe everybody everything. So far, the institutions that have lent us money are willing to take "dollars" for payment, but if "dollars" should devalue, what will the collection procedure be?

There are much worse things than new loans. There are reasons to believe that if Greece had defaulted on its loans and left the euro, the Greek generals would have overthrown the government and brought back a dictatorship.
Quote:

I continue to believe Tsipras was right to climb down in the face of the EU’s ultimatum, and that Varoufakis was at fault for the way he designed the “game” strategy. For Tsipras – and for the older generation of former detainees and torture victims who rebuilt the Greek left after 1974 – staying in power as a dented shield against austerity was preferable to handing power back to a bunch of political mafiosi backed by a mob of baying rich-kid fashionistas.

GSTRING, if you don't know the difference between personally attacking someone (i.e. calling them names) and "disagreeing with them" I'll give you can example:

=======

DISAGREEMENT
G, there's large difference between disagreeing with someone versus personally attacking someone. When you disagree with someone you bring a different perspective to the discussion, but the focus remains on the topic. From your "most insightful lines" I can't even figure out what the disagreement might be about - clearly you've strayed far off-topic. No judge of debate or rhetoric would classify your quotes as anything resembling "disagreement".



PERSONAL ATTACK
Hey, you fucking moron, I can't believe there is anyone so morally bankrupt, dishonest, immature, mentally lazy, or evil as to pretend that calling someone a series of names is "disagreeing with" them. But I guess that anyone who would vote for Hillary would be like that! If you think that anyone here believes that, you're lying to yourself. So I'll keep it simple for you: here's an example that anyone with a half a brain should be able to understand. Now we get to see if you can stop acting like you have even less that half a brain, facefuck. Yanno, at least you get to go online and waste your time in your nice cushy office while getting paid for it, you brainless parasite. So get off the computer and get back to work.
